Dear Apostles of the Returning King and Friends, Below you will find what I feel is an important document. Reflections on Mary is the fruit of Anne’s latest contemplation.

As followers of Christ, we are well prepared for whatever comes our way. Each life is a series of moments, one after the next, and then we will find ourselves with Jesus. Will we immediately and fully resonate with Heaven?
May Jesus bring you close to Himself on Good Friday.
Today we contemplate his death. He suffered for each of us and also for all those we love. Because we often tend to view ourselves in a harsh and negative light, we might take some time to examine how Jesus views us.
During this week, especially, we cannot help but think of our clergy. Clearly, their experience of Holy Week will be different this year. Liturgically, Jesus Christ has begun the painful trek to his death. Each priest, in some way, shares that journey this week. As shepherds mostly separated from their flocks, they, like the rest of us, must focus ever more intently on the mission of our Church and their role in it.
In the Catholic Church there seems to exist a separation between practicing Catholics and non-practicing Catholics. There also exists a further apparent divide between persons Catholic and those of other faiths or none. Yet, each person possesses an unrepeatable relationship with Jesus Christ, in the Eucharist.
This question must be examined through the lens of God’s primary goal for humanity. God wants us to learn to love during our human experience. He wants us to learn to love as he loves, with connection, attachment, and commitment.
